To all whom it may concern:

The presentinvention is'an improved means for producing a tough surface, not liable to crack, upon a plastered wall. I

Referring to the drawings, A represents a plastered wall of the usual description.

Paint D, and one or more coats, as destantially as described. sired, is then painted onto and worked into i a a textile fabric cemented thereto. In the present improvement the preliminarytreatment of the wall is omitted, and the fabric is cemented directly to the plaster-a method favorable for attaching the fabric when a cement soluble in water-such as flour-paste is used.
